Hi everyone. I am new here and not really sure about how to go about making friends etc...so I guess I will just start off by explaining why I am here. Well I am a military fiance. My fiance Timothy is currently enlisted in the Army and is stationed at Ft benning. He went there for basic and was injured and has been there for nine months awaiting his discharge. We previously had been in a long distance relationship prior to him enlisting, so I we were already pros at the long distance thing..he in Miami and me in Pennsylvania. I was okay for the most part, I had my bad days but I did not let it overwhelm my life. But recently I have not been doing so well. I am so sad, lonely and depressed. I feel like I am losing him. I feel like i do not know him anymore. We rarely talk anymore, even when I know he can talk, like when he is out on pass. I vacilate between telling myself i need to be strong and just getting so sick of having to be so strong. I feel as though i have no room to need support when so many others have not seen their loved for a year or more and worry about their safety day in and day out. I know tim is safe, but I feel like he is not even a part of my life anymore, l know nothing about his life, what he feels, or anything....and that hurts more than anything. Is this normal?...to feel like your relationship is falling apart but you can't do anything to make it better?
I hope that all made some sort of sense...sorry it if was just a rambling mess

you do need support. we all do and there is lots here for you. it's ok that you need support just cuz he is not deployed does not mean it is not hard. it is a hard life and if you need to talk we are here. my fiance has been in iraq since may 2nd and i have needed lots of support and the people here are awsome. welcome to the family and don't be ashamed of needing us.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
